OUR Latest + GREATEST

Yes. We're 12 days into September and just now announcing the winner of the August 2016 #MOTRstrong Instagram contest. Please don't judge. We hosted the annual Moms on the Run celebration banquet, with phenomenal keynote Alisha Perkins. We watched hundreds of you cross the finish lines at the Second Annual Moms on the Run 5K/10K. And then back-to-school duties called many of us, whether we were sending kiddos off to school or hunkering down at home with new home school curriculum.

But we're back and excited to announce our latest #MOTRstrong contest winner, for the month of August!

Congratulations to Ashley of @ashleykapsnerrunning, who wins the “Women Run Together” package: 2 free registrations to the 10th annual Women Run the Cities (choose from 10-Mile Run; 10K Run 5K Run or Walk) and 2 WRTC 10th anniversary t-shirts ($165 value).

Here are a few of Ashley’s #MOTRstrong posts, sharing what makes her feel connected, confident and STRONG:

Thanks again to the following sponsors and partners for providing prizes to our four monthly contest winners during the 2016 spring/summer season: Canvas Health; Renewal By Andersen of the Twin Cities; Wellwomen Thrive; and Women Run The Cities.

Stay #MOTRstrong!Help us continue to shape what it means to be #MOTRstrong, year-round! Simply share your photos and join the conversation on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter or Pinterest. Remember to tag photos with #MOTRstrong and #MomsOnTheRun. Here are some categories to get you thinking creatively:

#BestScenery: Show us those gorgeous lakes, trails, skylines, post-storm rainbows or other beautiful settings you’re lucky enough to enjoy during a workout or race. Every grueling interval or plank is made more enjoyable because, #BestScenery!

#LoveMyTeam: Your teammates inspire you. They cheer you up when you’re having a bad day (or bad run). They make you laugh so hard that you snort water out of your nose. Share photos that show us why you love your teammates, even if you couldn’t possibly fit all of them in one photo.

#Unstoppable: Whether you encounter injury-related setbacks or challenges of a completely different type, we want to see what keeps you going. What motivates you to be #Unstoppable?

#MOTRselfie: Headed somewhere recognizable on a work trip or family getaway? Or just capturing the fun spirit of you and your best runner friends (BRFs)? Snap a selfie with a local landmark while wearing your MOTR gear.
